He is a spokesman for the Catholic Church, and their policies, and does not represent other Christian denominations or their views. And his airbrushing of history is hypocritical.

“In a stunningly honest depiction of his life, Canadian-Pakistani filmmaker Arshad Khan, takes audiences on a heart-wrenching journey through his past, his family and the perils of being a gay-identifying Pakistani-Muslim Canadian in his new documentary, ABU.

The documentary follows his story as a boy gridlocked in a tussle between the rules of being “a good Pakistani boy” and being true to himself and the strained relationship between his family’s conservative notions of life, and his aspiring liberal and modern ones.

With powerful themes of religion, migration to Mississauga, Canada, sexuality and colonialism, told against the backdrop of childhood innocence and old home movies from Pakistan, Khan strings together a story that will undoubtedly disarm and leave audiences from every walk of life overwhelmed with compassion. ”

“OTTAWA —Trinity Western University’s decision to drop its mandatory community covenant has left religious freedom advocates wondering what the implications are for the future.

TWU’s president Bob Kuhn said the private evangelical Christian university has made no plans to re-start its pursuit of a law school. “It’s not on the list for immediate priority if any decision is made,” he said.

The decision to drop the covenant, which among other things required students to refrain from sexual activity outside of traditional marriage, was under discussion for some time, even before the Supreme Court’s June decision, he said. The timing of the announcement in mid-August had to do with wanting the policy in place for the start of the academic year in the fall.”
